I didn’t want to go to my dormitory because I knew Mick would be looking for me there, so I flew in the opposite direction. All I needed was to be alone for awhile and clear my head. I passed our classrooms and said hello to the thinking chair on my way. It crabbed a little sideways and looked like it wanted to play with me, but I really wasn’t in the mood.

“Sorry, little fellow,” I said while I stroked it under the seat.

Then I moved on to the library where I sat in a chair. I stared at the rows of books from the floor to the top of the tower. There had to be more than a million books in there.

I felt tears filling my eyes. Why was everything so complicated? Why couldn’t I just meet a nice guy and fall in love? Why did I insist on ruining everything? If only I hadn’t gone to see Jason that last time, then we wouldn’t be in this mess. If only I could let Jason go once and for all, then there would be no problem. No jealousy, nothing that could come between Mick and me. Jason was our only obstacle. But now that he had spoken my name and I had been able to touch him, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was happening with him, that maybe he would get better soon. But how? Nothing seemed to have changed in his circumstances.

I sighed and curled up in the chair. I hid my face between my knees. Maybe it would be best for everybody if I let both of them go. Mick was too good for me anyway and I would never be the girlfriend or perfect wife he was looking for. He had put me on some sort of pedestal and thought that I was something I really wasn’t.

It had started raining outside and raindrops lashed at the window. Inside the library the light from the fireplace made it all glowing and nice. It’s so quiet in here, I thought to myself and it made me feel a little better. I needed time to think. I needed a quiet place like this. But then I heard something and my feeling of being all alone was destroyed. It was voices; they were discussing something and it sounded serious.

Curiosity got the better of me and I left the library and followed the sound of the voices.

They came from a chamber I had never been in before. As I floated slowly, searching down the corridor, I found the door to the chamber slightly ajar—just enough for me to hear some of what was being said.

“How could this have happened?” I heard one voice say. I recognized it immediately as that of Headmaster Salathiel.

“We don’t know,” another voice answered. It was trembling and the person speaking seemed anxious. It sounded like Mrs. Higgins’s high-pitched voice. “He must have had help from someone on the outside. All we know is that he escaped somehow from his cell.
